“Wow, I’m in U.S. and I Love It”

By HSB 

With less then 1 month of GMAT preparation, he scored 730. He wanted to be an Investment Banker/Analyst in Wall Street. Currently at school with full scholarship for M.S. in Finance.

He Landed in Chicago, looked around and said “Wow, I’m in U.S.” Following pictures will show  why there was a “WOW Factor”. Well, he looked around and found eye catching images, which words cannot describe

Its not just the pretty girls in Navy Pier, beautiful downtown and nightlife, but its that inspiration and desire to succeed, dream to reach new heights that drives him.

He’s good old friend of mine, we both went to school together and was my undergrad roomie. He was playful, funny college guy, well known for his Quantitative, Analytical skills and other off curricular skills. I really cannot include all that he’s well know for.

I remember when I had to convince him to take Maths semester exam during 3rd year. He was planning to take a back log, since he was not prepared for the exam the night before ( around mid night) and ended up getting 60 something marks.

MBA from IIT

His dream was to become a good manager and decided to attend IIM, but fell short and landed in IIT MBA. He’s not fond of programming, even though his background was in IT. He spent 15 months to find a good coaching center like NIIT, Aptech, ..that will teach him programming. “Mangers don’t write code” as his usual response. He did certainly know how to print “Hello World”

Like everyone else came to land of opportunity and freedom. I have asked him to write about MBA experience in India and how M.S. in Finance have changed the perspective towards his life and education. If you have any questions about MBA and M.S. in Finance, job opportunities and courses,.. write a comment to this article and he will be glad to include the answers in his article.

But he needs your Help

Following is an email I received from him recently

Need advice :( (((

There was this beautiful sweater I bought from India coz US is soo cold here and I happily washed it in the machine today…
It brings tears in my eyes to tell you the size to which it has shrunk…( This was never in any basic IQ book I ever came across in my life) and I spent 2000 bucks to learn this news.

And now I am 1 sweater down plus  i have to geta new one…

If you have any knowledge about resuscitation please mail me

Thank you with a heart full of shrunken warmth

    Hi,
    I have just completed my engineering. So can I apply to MS in Finance now or do I need work experience ?

    Im an MBA aspirant but since that requires work experience I have decided to do an MS in Engineering first. MS in Finance seems like a good option. So tell me which course is more suited to do an MBA in future – MS in Finance or MS in Engineering?
